Racers on the starting line at the main track at Wausau Grass Drags in competition for the Wisconsin Cup, sponsored by Trailmates Snowmobile Club.

Thousands of snowmobilers and multi-season powersports enthusiasts, fans and racers alike will be welcomed back for another exciting year of this season kickoff event in Wausau/Central Wisconsin. ATV & Mini Rod Pull features, along with sanctioned snowmobile grass drag racing both days, are always a highlight worth checking out while on the grounds in addition to swap meet and vendor displays. Snowmobile race action at the Wausau Grass Drags is high energy on the 4-lane-wide, hardened & rolled 500 ft long grass/clay combo track. (300 ft for all vintage classes) Expect fast times and cool sleds as racers compete for the renowned Wisconsin Cup. Wausau Grass Drags & Swap Meet is a family friendly event and you'll find something for everyone including the best swap meet and vendor display pricing Central Wisconsin will likely see all season on powersports-related parts, clothing, accessories and new/used vehicles.

NOTICE: You are NOT allowed to drive or test ANY newly purchased, displayed and/or new/sold snowmobiles, ATVs, UTVs, etc. on the event grounds. This is for EVERYONE's safety. Driving through spectator and/or vending/display areas during the event is unsafe for others and will result in a citation. (You don't want that.) We are happy to help you move your newly purchased items out to our Swap Meet Pickup area (near GATE 2) at no charge. Look for Trailmates members in the swap areas with special ATVs with 2 place flatbed trailers for this specific purpose. For insurance/liability reasons YOU are responsible for loading and fully securing all newly purchased vehicles/equipment for transport from the event grounds in the Swap Meet Pickup area (see site map). Just present your claim ticket there to receive and load your item(s). Please be sure to have adequate help there with you (if needed) and ample means to fully secure your vehicle/equipment purchase(s) for transport. Load securing devices including, but not limited to, tie downs, rope sections, trailer bars and/or warning flags are not provided in the Swap Meet Pickup area and are your responsibility. Download the site map above to see the specific location of the Swap Meet Pickup area.

TIP: The swap meet & vendor display areas are BIG so wear comfortable shoes. Wagons or wheeled carts are a good idea for hauling out your newly purchased items.

What's makes a snowmobile able to race and WIN in grass drags competition? Of course that all depends on who you talk to. While many of the sled models have changed over the years by name, many of the basic grass drags setups are common to all classes and have not changed much over the years.
